How I, a Disneyworlder, view the United States.

They forgot a vaguely boot shaped state of New Orleans next to yeehaw.

Actually yes. XD

When I (a german) listen to two americans talk about where they live, I feel like turning into a questionmark. I have NO IDEA about any of the places they talk about or the metaphors they use xD

I (an American) only know a few cities in Germany. And the history of its territory is as fascinating as that of Russia.

Things that stood out from a few weeks visit to Frankfurt:

You drive 150mph on the autobahn, park your car in a giant garage around the city proper (old town?), and walk around in the city (except for authorized delivery vehicles with restricted hours).

Shops had "spaghetti ice cream". Force vanilla ice cream through a spaghetti mill to look like a pile of noodles on your plate (until it melts). Top with strawberry sauce and maybe sprinkle powdered sugar.

Spiesbraten restaurants marinated cuts of meat (mostly pork) in vinegar and spices for a week, then grilled your order over a wood fire at the center of the restaurant while you watched. One little girl asked for catsup, but her father hushed her up saying, "Für Pommefritz! Für Pommefritz!"

The SS tunnels underneath the city were cemented off with many yards of concrete. I was told the contents were too horrible for anyone to stomach cleaning it up.

Guard towers and other above ground aspects were preserved as a reminder.

Can confirm

And as usual they don't even realize Alaska is part of the US.

I don’t either 🤣

Don't forget Hawaii. (The statehood votes were suspicious, but still.)

Looks like a side of beef.
